Frequently Asked Questions About Veneers

Learn how veneers can transform your smile with answers to some common questions below.

What are veneers?

A veneer is created from porcelain or resin and attached to a tooth’s surface. Their ultra-thin design means that only a minimal amount of tooth needs to be altered.

What are veneers made from?

Porcelain veneers start as thin porcelain sheets. Skilled technicians custom-make them to match your tooth shape and color. Using a range of porcelain shades, they create the color to mimic the look of real teeth. Natural-looking teeth aren’t pure white but a blend of opacities and translucencies. This mix gives your veneers a natural appearance.

Are veneers permanent, or can they be removed?

Veneers are not considered a permanent dental solution. They last around 10 to 15 years. But it’s important to note that getting veneers is irreversible. To place veneers, a small amount of enamel is removed from the teeth to accommodate the veneers. This means that the alteration is permanent. If a veneer needs to be removed, it will be replaced with a new one or an alternative treatment to maintain the appearance of your teeth.

Do veneers require maintenance?

Yes, veneers need some special care and maintenance. It’s important to

1. Maintain good oral hygiene to prevent gum disease and tooth decay.
2. Avoid excessive pressure, such as biting hard objects.
3. Consider wearing a nightguard if you grind your teeth while you sleep.
4. Attend regular dental check-ups for professional cleanings.
